Before use :
• Ensure the Blastmaster
®
950 CFM Air Dryer unit is placed on a flat, solid, level surface
capable of supporting the unit’s weight and is in a stable position.
• Inspect unit for loose fittings, bolts, or damage. Tighten any loose fittings or bolts and
replace any damaged components before use. Ensure Inspection Door (4) is secure.
• Inspect Aftercooler (3), Fan Blades (2), and Air Motor (1) for dust, dirt, debris or
obstructions. Clean or clear away any foreign matter.
• Using a screw driver or similar device, gently rotate Fan Blades (2) to confirm free
movement. If the Fan Blades do not move freely, remove obstruction or replace Air
Motor (1) before use.
• Remove and inspect Air Motor Lubricator Bowl (12) for debris. If debris is found, drain,
then clean bowl. Fill Lubricant Bowl with SAE 10 detergent motor oil or a winter grade
pneumatic tool lubricant/antifreeze, then install.
• Open all Drain Valves (6,7,11,16) fully to release any liquid. Close Drain Valves once
liquid stops flowing.
• Check desiccant tablet levels using Sight Glass (5). See Loading the Blastmaster

Watch the lubricant flow through the combination Control Knob/Site Dome (14) on top of
the Air Motor Lubricator (13), adjust the flow to one drop per minute.
Note: Failure to maintain lubrication of Air Motor (1) will cause the motor to fail.
• Slowly turn on air supply to connected device(s). If leaks are found, turn off air supply,
open Drain (6), allow air pressure to completely release and address leaks, as needed.
During use:
• Every hour, observe lubricant level (12) in Air Motor Lubricator (13). Add lubricant
through In-use Filler (Not Shown) , if necessary.
• Observe Drain Valves (6,7,11,16) for release of liquids. If no liquid is being released,
adjust as needed.
• Observe desiccant levels through Sight Glass (5).
After use:
• Turn off air supply to connected device(s).
• Turn off air supply to unit.
• Close Air Supply Ball Valve (9) to Air Motor Lubricator (13).
• Slowly open Drain Valves (6,7,11) to release collected liquid and stored compressed air.
• Once all pressure is released, disconnect air hose from Air Inlet (10) and Air Outlet (8).
• Close all Drain Valves (6,7,11,16).
